Got a little surprise today when I tried to dry fit the arch.  The slot in the original front panel is 1/8" but the new arch is about 5/32".  Luckily I have the small Dremel router attachment and I was able to widen it (slowly & carefully) with a 1/8" bit.  Ready now for clear coat and grain filler.  Steve, you mentioned applying clear lacquer first then the grain filler.  Will the filler adhere well to the clear coat.  That was my only concern.
